AI Summary
This bill modifies the duties of the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) regarding child support reporting by requiring the department to maintain an automated system for reporting child support arrearages that strictly adheres to federal guidelines under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act. Specifically, the bill mandates that DHHS will not report an arrearage (unpaid child support) as delinquent unless it meets the specific federal threshold for delinquency, and when an account is considered delinquent, the department must provide the exact dollar amount of the arrearage to the requesting agency. The bill aims to ensure that child support reporting is consistent with federal standards and provides precise financial information when requested. The new provisions will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage, giving the department time to adjust its reporting systems to comply with the new requirements.
